greg's surgery

So Greg had surgery this Friday. It went very well. He's already doing a billion times better.

On Friday we got up really early and got ready for the day. Greg took me to Starbucks so I could be caffienated- he wasn't allowed to have any coffee. We got to the surgery center around 7:40 and it was bustling full of people. Greg didn't go into the back until 8:00ish and about then is when my mom showed up! I went back to be with Greg before he went into surgery and it was weird because I've never seen him in a hospital-type setting and that was about when my nerves started kicking in. I had to leave after 20 minutes or so and I went back to be with my mom.

My mom decided to come and be with us on Greg's surgery day, she brought over a bunch of groceries and comfort! We hung out and talked in the waiting room and I went on a breakfast run (which I feel guilty about because I left but Mom didn't know where anything was in Fort Worth and we were starving). Finally around 12:00 the doctor told us that Greg was out of surgery and he did well and I could go back there in 20 minutes.

20 minutes go by and a nurse takes me back where a very anthesia-filled Greg is laying. That was the wierdest part. He was so sleepy and I got all teary-eyed. We had about another hour to go until he could go home and I could stay with him in 5 minute increments for that hour.

When we finally got him home he went to bed and I went to the pharmacy and ran some other errands for us while my mom stayed at his house to make sure he was ok.

Friday night was the worst- Greg was nauseas and threw up which isn't good so I was on the phone with the doctor a lot and he got another prescription for some nausea medicene but later Friday night he was feeling a lot better and was able to eat some Chicken Noodle Soup- funny how that always works.

On Saturday he was feeling much better but spent most of the day sleeping. Sunday he was feeling even better and spent a lot of the day watching Gilmore Girls with me (and that is why I love him most). He takes pain pills every 4 hour and his appetite is increasing.

Today I could see the biggest change. He is more awake and feels a bit stronger. Hopefully he can get up and move around a bit. His mom is coming in today to help him with stuff while I'm at school. I'm excited and I know Greg is too.

Ugh, I have to go get ready for school and I have so much more I need to write.
But all in all Greg is doing fine.
